[G1 Android Development] RueTheDay:
Wiping is basically like a hard reset. It restores the phone to factory default from an apps/data standpoint. Anything that isn't in the ROM, isn't on the SD card, and isn't on the SIM, gets erased - SMS conversations, local settings, apps, call log, browser favoites, etc.
[G1 Android Development] a1t:
Thanks

Thanks for that! Makes sense. It was just odd that some other builds masked the boot and splash which I assumed was replaced apparently it just pulls from a different location)
[G1 Android Development] billc.cn:
technically wiping means recreating the rom partition that will be mounted to /data and /cache

which includes all (managed) applications and data, some temporary files and whatever you put in those two places if you have root (including the links to sd card if you're using A2SD)

a wipe will not affect: SPL, the boot splash screens, radio, kernel and ramdisk, recovery mode, /system
[G1 Android Development] grayn0de:
I've searched the forums and the internet for a solution to my issue, but have thus far been unsuccessful in finding one that works. The problem itself has been covered online, but I can't seem to get the fix to work. I think I am missing a key step in all of this.

The problem: fastboot does not read my device, when the device is in fastboot mode.

If I try to run a fastboot command, it sits eternally on <waiting for device>.

I am running a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 and have followed the instructions for getting the source build and all of that went great (after opening the git port in my firewall). So, I have the source build now and it compiled fine, after commenting a line (637) out of external/qemu/sockets.c. Also, I have the Java version of Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) and ImageMagick (current) installed.

Mainly, I want to get everything working correctly so that I can dev on the device and create custom builds, but I figured I would start small. Splash screen flashing. No joy. I got the image resized and converted correctly, but I cannot seem to get my G1 to show up in fastboot or adb. One site said I needed to tweak the UDEV, which I did, but I am not sure if I did so correctly. I think I need to reset the drivers, most likely, but I haven't a clue how to go about that. Most of the tutorials I find are for Windows/Cygwin. :(

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

My sig is outdated, so here is what I am working with:

G1 with JF's ADP1 cupcake build, rooted with HSPL, busybox & Debian, JF's cupcake radio.

Ubuntu 9.04 with sun-java5-jdk, eclipse 3.4, Android source build (master manifest) [compiled], ImageMagick
[G1 Android Development] pixel-painter:
make sure that you do "adb remount" as root and all other commands too. Even if you load the adb deamon as non root and use root for following commands it will still not work. You will have to kill the adb server and start again.

"su adb kill-server"

(I think that will kill the server for you)
[G1 Android Development] billc.cn:
if fastboot says waiting for device then there's no device it can recognize...

can you use adb under normal system?
[G1 Android Development] grayn0de:
I found the problem. I forgot to run the following command:

chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules

That is all that was holding me back the last day and a half! :rolleyes: Sorry if I wasted anyone's time and thanks pixel-painter, who reminded me of something else I was doing wrong.

They have 200 units available for pre-order and is gonna come completely SIM unlocked. Price? Steep. 5999 SEK, which is 770 USD, 565 Euro or 504 British pounds.

Is the German Magic branded in any way? SIM unlocked?

Om man köper en HTC Magic utomlands, är det då möjligt att uppdatera den med den Svenska officiella romen när den kommer ? Kommer allt att funka som det gör med den Svenska versionen ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Joost39:
Ja, hvis du rooter den!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mannyb:
Ja, så snart en svensk ROM dyker upp så skall det fungera utmärkt. Vi har precis köpt in en tysk Magic som vi skall använda för att skapa guider för just sådana här saker på den svenska Androidportalen som du ser i min signatur.

To not piss anyone off by speaking Bork-bork I'll take it in English too: Yes, as soon as a Swedish ROM is available it won't be a problem. We've just bought a German HTC Magic that we're gonna use to create guides and such for the Swedish Android portal you see in my signature.

hi everyone.

im looking for a way to add call name display from rogers / fido to my phone.

i know the rose rom works for this and i have done it. but i honestly prefer the energy rom.

i know i can cook the rom to include the files needed for it to work.

the problem is i dont know what files to include.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Good luck... trying to learn to cook ROMs for our phone's is a difficult thing to do. I was able to piece together bits and pieces by talking to NRG, Stylez and AlekSS, and even now all I could manage was to scrub the Rose v1.7 to remove some useless apps, gifs, pngs, bmps, and wma files to suit my taste and trim about 5-6mb off the size of the ROM.

I was checking the new G1 phone and really liked it so wanted to buy it from the market ... the phone was brought by someone who went to the states or so and brought it here and its its from T-Mobile ... the retail version .. now i really wanna buy the phone but have NO CLUE what to check in the phone because i like to update the phone to the latest 1.5 firmware upgrade (cupcake) .. but what i wanna know is what should i check in the phone BEFORE buying it ?

like are there some model specifics that i need to check before buying it like the RC version or the firmware or what ever ... i did went through alot of post and wiki but since im gonna be throwing a good amount of money for it so i could use some direct pointers before buying it .....
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
This is really in the wrong part of the forum but here you go

Make sure that it powers up and screen works

Make sure that IMEI number is there (so you can unlock it for use in your country).

That's all you need.

Everything else is flashable, hackable, rootable... whatever you want to call it, doesn't matter what version of Android it has on it, you still will have to go back to dreaimg.nbh and start from the begining.

Good luck

Unfortunately, the build number is decently useless. Here's the official URL for RC33:

https://android.clients.google.com/updates/signed-PLAT-RC33-from-RC30.f06aa9b3.zip

That bit of "random characters" between RC30. and .zip is the first 4 bits/8 characters of the sha1sum of the file (if you don't believe me, you can download it and sha1sum it yourself) which you can't get without having the file.

Ergo the build number is useless...Just a pointless piece of data for right now. The *ONLY* way to get this file or the URL of it is for someone to pull it from the log.

I'm currently working on a cool open source card game for android, and I need some help - I'm stuck with trying to animate a view to move across other views - more specifically - i want a card to move from the deck to the hand, each of these is in a different container.

if you know anything about this - please help - it shouldnt take long and the project is nearly done - all i need is 5 minutes of your time to fix this annyoing thing - without it - the game would pretty much suck and be textual in nature...

the old way was to use AbsoluteLayout, but it's now deprecated. so perhaps the easiest way is to handle the painting procedure yourself or make your own layout manager?

Is there a rom (or mabey it's just a phone skin or theme) that is just 100% touchscreen - so I will not miss my buttons?

Here's why...

This last weekend all the buttons on my 8925 stopped working - just the power and camera buttons work (no keyboard either)

Everything else on the phone fuctions, phone, gps, internet, just the darn buttons.

Since I couldn't answer the phone without pressing the green button, I had to find something fast - I flashed Josh's 6.5 21222(?) - works good, but it's a little bleeding edge for me.

So I don't have to spend 3 days flashing 20 roms - please let me know if you've come across any that would help.

Opal Dialer

With the opal dialer, you can have a slider to answer or reject calls. I've had a lot of luck with all of the 6.5's so far, and it's very finger friendly as well as finger functional. But you should be able to install the opal dialer to any rom.

Sorry about your buttons and keyboard though, the keyboard is my favorite part, I hate typing with an onscreen. If, by the way, you find a keyboard that works really well with fingers, please please let me know. Transcriber works, but it's not a keyboard.

At any rate, good luck!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wasilvers:
Thanks!

drumboy03 -

As to onscreen keyboards. I use - and really like Resco Keyboard. It is THUMB Friendly and easy to use ( I think it is like an iphones keyboard - but who says they can't have a good idea once in a while).​

I think WM 6.5 seems to be the most finger friendly so far. I tried one of the HyperDragon III roms (12/25/08) and it works ok because it has...

Big start menu & Touchflo for easy navigation

I installed an iphone dialpad

I installed slide to unlock, slide to play, slide to view Dang - does it sound like I went for an iphone? - not intentional, but they do seen to have the better fingerfriedly interface.

I use Kinoma player - very finger friendly - for most media and core player (with diamond theme - big buttons) for the orb and news streams (it plays better than WM for me)

On a side note, I was getting 5-8 second gps locks from cold start with that setup! Better than my official GPS's.

Tonight or tomorrow I'll will try the opal dialer on a 6.5 rom - especially with the new internet exporer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] himalayasplaya:
I do second this notion, a touch screen only rom would be nice.

Two days ago I loaded the Solace v. 3.x rom. It is set up for primarily touch screen use - big icons, big notificiations etc. Works great. Only issue is with the default phone skin - if I have to dial a new number I have to save it to contacts first. But I like other features of the skin so I'll live with that.

And now that my outside buttons are mapped right, the keyboard works too! WOW - I was looking at replacing the tilt, instead it's only a $7 fix!
